Question about Curie Finals
Does anyone know what the field error was in the 2nd match of the finals? It cost the runner-up alliance a win and the keeper that was counted that shouldn't have been in the third match may have cost them the gold.

Re: Question about Curie Finals
If I am not mistaken, the field error in match 2 of the finals was because 1732 accidentally deployed one of their ramps while playing defense against 330.
(I think that's right. If I'm wrong, please let me know.) Thanks.:) |
Re: Question about Curie Finals
That would not qualify as a field error. A field error would be something like: one of the target lights wasn't operational, or if the MC left something on the field. The error is one that is not the fault of any of the teams.

Re: Question about Curie Finals
The coach of team 330 said that it was due to not counting some tubes for the score and it was too late to recount as they had already been removed.
He said this hurriedly as they headed off to prepare for einstein so some of it may have been lost in translation. |
Re: Question about Curie Finals
Thanks... I would like to see FIRST have a challenge system like the NFL. If a lone ref throws a penalty, the coach can challenge it to see if it was actually called correctly.

Re: Question about Curie Finals
I was the one who announce the "field error" and I was just saying verbatim what the head ref told me to. I don't know the full story, but from what I gathered the blue alliance said that they had more ringers on the rack then what was accounted for. They were going to write it off since there was no actual proof, but apparently one of the refs said that he didn't think the score was right either. They thought the PDA's were malfunctioning that match and not communicating correctly. So they decided to replay the match, and each subsequent match was scored manually using paper and pencil to back up the PDA's.
I'm just the messenger here, and that's what I gathered from the bits and pieces I was told. |
Re: Question about Curie Finals
Oh, thanks. That's been on my mind since it happened.

Re: Question about Curie Finals
Why didn't they just review the video? At GLR the head ref reviewed the video of the match after everyone was shocked by the score and Paul Copiloi immediately said it was wrong. After reviewing the video, they promptly changed the score, which caused the other alliance to win (as we had thought they did).

Re: Question about Curie Finals
My teammates on the field told me that the blue alliance thought/did score additional tubes than they were given credit for. Apparently, one ref had 1 ringer scored on the lower level and another ref had 2 ringers scored. There was no way to determine what was the correct ruling.
When I reviewed the webcast, the best you can tell is that the blue alliance only had 1 ringer on the lower level before they decided to attempt lifting for the bonus points. 1 or 2 ringer, either way it would not have effected the outcome of the match so I have no idea why it was replayed. Majority of the time, if a score has been announced and the change does not effect the outcome the match stands. I don't think the red alliance had a chance to protest the call either way. Either way the alliance of 330, 1270, and 910 beat the red alliance twice, and moved on to the Einstien. Would strategy of changed if it were 1-1, we will never know. Congrats to 330 for an amazing robot, 1270 was very good also, and 910 I watched them the entire season and they improved every time I saw them. Also, congrats to Team 67 -- we did not have the season we imagined....but we were still very successful in my mind. |

Although the one ringer would not have effected the score, as the head ref said, there may have been more scoring errors in transfering the data. It is a little disheartening to hear that the next matches were scored with paper. As the head ref said, this same thing happened during Thursday's qualification matches, so they knew there was a possibility to have errors. Hopefully this is something that is fixed before next year. Anyway, congrats to 330, 910 and 1270. After hearing that the match wouldn't be counted, we knew we were in trouble. Beating an alliance that great three times in a row is very difficult. Thanks again to 67 and 48; both of you were amazing partners. |

Thank you 1732 for picking us. 48, I am just glad we were playing with you and not against you. You would have been very efficient trying to shut us down. |
